Astronomers detect very-high-energy gamma-ray emission surrounding distant pulsar

Using the Large High-Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO), an international team of astronomers have detected very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-rays around the pulsar PSR J0248+6021, which may be the pulsar's halo or a pulsar wind nebula. The finding was reported in a paper published October 6 on the pre-print server arXiv.
